Astral Social Club

Astral Social Club is the pseudonym of one Neil Campbell, a man whose involvement in the UK's experimental music scene has been well documented. Through his work with the Vibracathedral Orchestra and the Sunroof! guise he has consistently amazed and enthralled listeners, not only bringing together a huge legion of fans but also managing to influence countless young acts. This latest work sees the astral traveler moving into further realms and finally putting a capital 'c' on club, bringing in 4/4 beats into the psychedelic fold for a change.

Flower-Corsano Duo

Debut release for this powerhouse hook-up between Mick Flower of Vibracathedral Orchestra and free drummer Chris Corsano. Flower plays a Japan Banjo here, an instrument that’s somewhere between a lap steel and a sitar, with swallowing drones giving way to shredding single note lead work while Corsano speed-thinks his way out of his own skin. Last time I saw these guys play I heard some stunned punter compare em to a fantasy John Cippolina/Andrew Cyrille duo and that isn’t a million miles from the mark.
